DVD
Online Club - Why I Went With the Best and Cheapest Way
to Rent Movies
by: Anthony Kristovich III
Out: Driving to the
local video store to rent a video.
In: Visiting a DVD
online club to rent a video to have it sent to your home
effortlessly.
Out: Waiting in long
lines at the local video store.
In: Choosing which
movies to have sent to you from a website in moments.
Out: Not finding the
video you really wanted at the video store, the whole
reason you went there. That, and having to find a "good
enough" movie.
In: Choose the movie you
really want among tens of thousands of choice. The one
you want, everytime.
These things describe
why I switched to a DVD online club. From my experience,
everytime I went to the local video Blockbuster, I never
got the movie I really wanted. The new releases were
always out for weeks, and you had to practically stalk
the store to get one when it came back in. That, and
recently I had the urge to watch an old movie, Karate
Kid 1 (the original where he learned karate). After
going there a couple of times, I found out someone had
kept the video out and maybe at some point they'd get a
new one in as the person decided to keep it apparantly.
Ok, so I went to Walmart, but the movie wasn't there. So
it comes down to I have to order one in from
Amazon.com it seems if I want to watch it. I never
quite took to Netflix after my credit card number got
stolen years ago and that's what the person did, they
ordered videos from Netflix. So, recently I came across
this place called Intelliflix and I never went back to
Blockbuster again. The old movie was great to see again.
That's why I chose to
change to a DVD online club, but everyone has their own
reasons. I have compiled together a list of all the
great things about switching to a DVD online club since
some you don't realize until after you switch, like a
bonus:
* No late fees or return
dates. While this is true about Blockbuster now (if you
don't count the restocking fee) , it is 100% true about
these DVD online clubs.
* Great for old movies
or unusual, lesser-known movies. This was very true in
my case, and I'm sure it has been with other people as
well.
* The movies you really
want are actually there and ready to rent now. Plenty of
movies to go around, something you can't get in a little
store.
* Delivered to your
door. You can't get any easier than this! What you want,
delivered right to you in no time.
* Fast, free delivery,
usually in 1 day from my experience. Some DVD online
clubs get the movies to you faster than others. The
biggest DVD online club is not Blockbuster or Netflix.
There is one that has many, many more distribution
centers, meaning you get the video much faster to your
door.
* Free shipping both to
your home and also back to the DVD online club. The only
fees are the low monthly subscription fees.
* 3-4 videos out a a
time. Once you watch a video, pop it back in the mail,
and in a couple of days you get your next video choice
at your door.
I used to spend way more
money in the local video store than I do for my DVD
online club monthly subscription. Heck, I spend more
driving to work and back on just 3 of the days than I do
on my subscription. The difference is, now I actually
get to watch what I want, when I want it. Seems simple,
but when you're spending your hard-earned money, you
should be able to at the least get the movie you really
want. Now, I do have to say one DVD online club stands
above the rest, both in having a cheaper price, a bigger
selection, and much faster shipping, but I won't mention
it in this article as I'm focusing on the DVD online
club market in general and why it's a blessing. You can
watch literally any movie you want one after another. I
usually have a pile of 3 videos on top of the tv, so I
can't even remotely watch them as fast as I can get
them. But I do get to see what I want now, not what I'm
stuck with. Wax on .. wax off!
